The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics of the influence of constructive and destructive agentic parameters on mental self-regulation. Research methods and organization. The study involved 104 athletes of both genders, with varying levels of sports proficiency, professionally practicing the martial art of Capoeira. The respondents were assessed using methodologies that diagnose regulatory parameters: "Behavioral Self-Regulation Style – 98" and constructive/destructive agentic qualities: "Personality Protest Activity," "Stress Coping Strategies," and "Psychosocial Maturity." Multiple regression analysis was used in the study. Research results and conclusions. It has been established that constructive agentic activity, realized through assertiveness, emancipation, cognitive motivation, and self-determination, positively influences the parameters of conscious self-regulation and contributes to an individual's success in both professional and personal life. Negative personality traits generally hinder the realization of an individual’s regulatory potential. At the same time, antisocial behavior, negativism, opposition, and independence bordering on isolation can, in certain situations, form a destructive behavior pattern that helps cope with a complex situation 'here and now,' but is ineffective in the long term and in relationship-building. Attention is drawn to the significant contribution of negative personality traits to regulatory autonomy, which demonstrates the ambivalence of this personality characteristic. Individuals inclined toward hyper-independence are highly likely to exhibit emotional unavailability, conflict-proneness, irritability, and behavioral inflexibility.
